Raskin<\/a>, who introduced similar anti-SLAPP legislation in the 117th Congress.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace USA is no stranger to SLAPP lawsuits, which are characterized as meritless lawsuits intended to bankrupt, silence, or even shut down critics. Currently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/energy-transfer-lawsuit\/#:~:text=Energy%20Transfer%20is%20currently%20suing,would%20functionally%20bankrupt%20Greenpeace%20USA.\">Energy Transfer is taking Greenpeace USA and Greenpeace International to court for $300 million<\/a> \u2013 an amount that could spell the end of Greenpeace in the U.S. In that case, Energy Transfer alleges that Greenpeace organized the 2016-2017 Standing Rock resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline \u2013 a false claim that attempts to abuse the legal system to silence dissenting views.<br><br>This model \u2013 most often brought by powerful interests, including the oil and gas industry \u2013 has been used to go after other Greenpeace offices around the world, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/press-release\/63522\/shell-hits-greenpeace-with-intimidation-lawsuit-threatening-8-6m-damages-claim-and-protest-ban-to-silence-climate-demands\/\">Greenpeace UK<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=ENI+vs.+Greenpeace+Italy&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enSN1034SN1038&amp;oq=ENI+vs.+Greenpeace+Italy&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIKCAEQABiABBiiBDIKCAIQABiABBiiBDIKCAMQABiABBiiBDIKCAQQABiABBiiBNIBBzI3MGowajSoAgCwAgA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8\">Greenpeace Italy<\/a>. And the crackdown extends beyond the environmental movement, with these bullying legal tactics being used to threaten journalists, activists, Indigenous water protectors, and Black Lives Matter activists.<\/p>\n\n<p>As SLAPPs are a growing threat in the U.S., most states have put legal protections in place, often on a strong bipartisan basis, to protect advocates. But in North Dakota \u2013 where our case goes to trial in February 2025 \u2013 and in 17 other U.S. states, no anti-SLAPP statutes exist.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to advocating for all states to have anti-SLAPP statutes, federal protections are urgently needed \u2013 especially because state laws often don\u2019t apply in federal courts. This legislation would help to close a critical gap in defending Americans\u2019 First Amendment rights, and ensure that defendants can quickly end meritless lawsuits in federal court while recovering their legal costs. It also aligns with efforts across the world, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jayadkisson\/2024\/06\/06\/the-european-union-adopts-anti-slapp-directive\/\">Anti-SLAPP Directive<\/a> recently adopted by the European Union.<br><br>The right to speak out against harm is fundamental to all citizens \u2013 and we must ensure that people across the political spectrum can have a voice in decisions that affect their lives and communities, without fear of retaliation. This same type of corporate intimidation that Greenpeace is facing could next be used against another organization or issue \u2013 and would contribute to a pattern of weaponizing\u00a0 the court system to curb free speech, rather than for justice.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <a
